And you know that no matter how many mistakes you might make, your teacher is still going to give you a high-five and a gold star...simply because you applied yourself.

There's no better feeling than when all your hard work pays off, as you finally figure out how to blow bubbles....a skill you've been trying to master for months.

Whipping up a batch of mini-cakes in your sister's Easy-Bake oven is your idea of "really cool fun"...especially because you know you'll get to lick the spoon and the bowl (even though your mother has warned you numerous times about salmonella poisoning).

Nothing makes you happier than eating the other half of the giant burrito your dad couldn't finish....because you're such a big boy with an endless appetite.

You've got nothing but time on your hands and you have no problem taking a few minutes out of your day to say hello to a friendly cat, even though your mom is nagging you to hurry along.

"Cats need love too," you tell her.

Throwing leaves in the air makes you giggle until you're doubled over with a bad case of hiccups.

No worries about where the leaves land....you love to scoop them all up into a huge pile and throw them up in the air...over and over again, with boundless energy.

Every open road leads you wherever you want to go. The options are unlimited.

The world is your oyster, just waiting to be discovered and acted upon.

You know---I've always wondered if there has ever been a kid who got samonella poisoning from eating raw dough.

I know my mom told me the same thing, but I did it anyway when she wasn't looking, and never go sick. I'm quite certain, too, that I'll tell my girls the exact same thing.

I'm just wondering if there's ever been an actual documented case of salmonella poisoning from licking raw dough. I'm sure there has---it would be horror story I'd share with my girls. "The sad story of Jenny who got sick from eating raw cookie dough and missed her own birthday party, even though her mom warned her...." HA!

I love this post! So sweet and so true! Even Kaitlyn said this week she wants to go back to kindergarten where it was fun all the time. :( I can't say that I blame her and unfortunately, it only gets tougher with each passing year. But as we all know, they get so many more privileges as they grow too, which is the trade off.

Anyway, love this post. We just joined the 4 yrs old club around here too. Hard to believe we are finally, completely, and totally out of the baby/toddler stage. Sad to say but woo hoo! Loving where we are right now.

Pardon me but I would like to be 4 again?? Please?? No huh.. well I tried. Love the pics and the words you have explained it so well. Bubble blowing is hard, not too hard not too soft.. ugh. But when you get it just right and see those multicolored orbs float away, perfection.
